Music for the erg

Anyone got preferred music for erg accompaniment? Personally it always has to be very extreme metal: Cannibal Corpse, Obituary etc -- neither of which will probably appear on anyone else's list!

Mostly some Mogwai, some live Status Quo or some bluesy Chris Rea B)

When i am in a state to do a proper 2k again, this will be the soundtrack for it :

Granted, that will be with a replay setting for the extra 1min30 I will need but that's a moot point :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I like kind of an alternative mix...Modest Mouse, Interpol, Kurt Vile, War on Drugs, Wilco, Pavement, Eels, Broken Social Scene, Tragically Hip, Traffic, Aaron Copland :D

I'm mostly into rock myself, but not adverse to the occasional beats.

However, I've found some fitting musical accompanyment to my 1k and 2k tests last week:

Warm-up to whatever.. I prefer UK's radio-X livestream for steady state work.

Final easy row and preparing for start: Ramones - Blitzkrieg bop (Hey, Ho lets go, amps me up and gets me ready to shred once it stops).
1k: Rammstein: Ich will (really, almost any rammstein will do).
2k: Metallica - Spit out the bone (With it's 7:09 length a good fit for my 2k speed).

I suppose 500m's need even more aggressive tunes, but I dont really listen when I'm putting in so much effort.

I'm new to spotify and like to see/listen to your playlist. When I use your url, my browser(chrome) is asking to enable flash...Is there any other way to get the playlist directly in my spotify-app?

In the spotify app, try to search for a playlist called 8x500. That's the PlayList title. My User Name is Gregory Smith, that might help.
